| Description: |
Deliberative democracy tends to suffer from a lack of literature from the perspective of legal theory. This book looks at the three fundamental questions raised in deliberative theory: why deliberate, who deliberates and where to deliberate? It examines the relationship between representatives and their constituents, and the politics of inclusion. |
| Synopsis: |
Drawing on political, legal, national, post-national, as well as American and European perspectives, this collection of essays offers a diverse and balanced discussion of the current arguments concerning deliberative democracy. Its contributions' focus on discontent, provide a critical assessment of the benefits of deliberation and also respond to the strongest criticisms of the idea of democratic deliberation. The essays consider the three basic questions of why, how and where to deliberate democratically. This book will be of value not only to political and democratic theorists, but also to legal philosophers and constitutional theorists, and all those interested in the legitimacy of decision-making in national and post-national pluralistic polities. |
